Top 6 tech startups based in northern England

When it comes to tech, the market has been dominated by the USA since the beginning; however, the world is yet unaware of our selected top 6 tech startups based in the north of England. I believe, the following tech startups have the capacity to alter our lifestyle, taste, and culture drastically, and we must put them to good use.
